Argos in TNAWe reported last week that AAA’s Argos appeared at TNA’s Impact tapings last week in an Elimination match. He returned for the next set of tapings taking part in an X-Division Gauntlet Match for the X-Division Title which was won by Rockstar Spud. He is expected to make further appearances as well, and there has been talk that his brother Argenis may show up too.

Rush Facing Possible Assault ChargesA big story in Mexico broke at the end of the week about a security guard for Arena Mexico alleging that CMLL star Rush attacked him back in April. The security guard claims that he stopped Rush’s wife from entering backstage because she was not on a list of people that was supposed to be allowed in. Eventually someone relayed the message that it was Rush’s wife and she should be let in and he let the woman go through. Later Rush confronted the security guard and according to the guard Rush punched him and knocked him out. CMLL trainer Hijo del Gladiador held Rush back from doing anything else. There is thought that there may be a history between the guard and Rush. The guard claims he was taken to a hospital, which works with CMLL closely, and told he simply was bruised up. He claims that he met with Chavo Lutteroth and Paco Alonso (CMLL’s owners) and they agreed to punish Rush themselves if he didn’t press charges and not visit another hospital. The guard said that he was still in pain two days later and went to another hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion and possible fracture in his back. Neither Rush nor CMLL have commented on the issue and it is doubtful they will ever.
